Xcelsius 2008 FP2 won't export to swf

Hello,
I can not get Xcelsius to preview or export to swf.  The progress bar labelled "Generating swft" displays for approximately 3-5 minutes until Xcelsius.exe finally crashes and the app closes.  I'm running Xcelsius 2008 SP1 with FP2, Live Office XI R2 and Flash 10 (lastest version).  I've also looked at the Flash security as described in other forum posts and that does not appear to be the issue.
The .xlf I'm working with was successfully completed and published to Crystalreports.com and is working fine.  The problems began when two additional Live Office connections were added to allow for some additional data points in the next release of the dashboard.  The data model now contains a few hundred more rows and a few hundred forumlas causing the Excel file to increase to just under 1MB.  The total number of rows of data return in all Live Office connections combine are just over 1,000 rows.  The max # rows setting in Xcelsius is set to 2,000.  The formula cells added to the data model are fairly simple formulas that were successfully used in the data model previously (ISERROR, INDEX, MATCH).
On occasion, Xcelsius will give the message box "Your range has been reduced to the maximum rows allowed" before crashing. 
Acting on this message I have removed the new Live Office connections, but the message/crashing continues.  I have now scaled back the # of Live Office connections and # of formula cells way back to a very small number.  the data model is now very small and quickly imports into Xcelsius yet the same message/crashing continues.  I have verified that the data model currently in Xcelsius is the most recent, very small version of the data model, but Xcelsius still behaves like the large 1MB data model is present. 
I don't know if this is even a # rows/data model size issue or a config/bug issue.  Any suggestions would be most appreciated. 
I've read the PDF on FP3, but don't see this scenario listed.  Might FP3 help?  I need to be FP3 is compatible with publishing swf files to Crystalreports.com which is a BOE XI R2 platform.

thanks for the quick advice.  so we can scale back the data to within 512 rows by splitting this into 2 dashboards.  Not ideal, but shouldl be acceptable. 
The data is already pre-aggregated.  The data sources for this data model are crystal reports that are published in Crystalreports.com and refreshed nightly against a 3rd party API.  Virtually all of the formulas required in Excel are used to line up rows of data that are being pulled in from 2 seperate live office queries.  All of the required data points could not be included in a single crystal report so 2 are needed and the rows matched up in Excel using an INDEX(MATCH) formula.  We are not using any unsupported functions or VLOOKUP per the advice of an Xcelsius best practice document I located in this forum.  I'm open to any suggestions on better techniques to align related rows of data from two seperate ranges in Excel so they essentially appear as though they came from a single data source.
I am starting to lean toward the # of formulas in the data model as being the issue and have added fitlers to the live office query to cut the # of rows to only 20% of what was originally being retrieved.  The # of formulas were also reduced by the same percentage.  However, when trying to preview or export to swf, Xcelsius still gives the same message that the range was reduced to the max allowed and then crashes.  It's as if Xcelsius is still seeing the old data model.  Perhaps something is being cached that isn't clearing out?  Even a full remove and re-install of Xcelsius SP1, Live Office and FP2 has had no affect.  Maybe we need to build a new .xlf from scratch?
thanks

    Just wondering if anyone has had any issues with xcelsius and using the keyboard. I have now tried the Enterprise Edition Xcelsius 2008 SP4 on 3 x Windows 7 machines (and the Xcelsius SP3 with hot fix 3.3 on 2 windows 7 machines) and if I open a new project drag a pie chart onto the canvas (or anything) and try to replace the heading pie chart with "MyChart" as soon as I hit the M the software locks up and I get the following message.

    The strange thing is that if I write MyChart in a cell in the excel sheet and copy and paste it over Pie Chart it works fine as soon as I hit a key (even the backspace) I lock up the program. We tried on a clean image Windows 7 machine that IT hadnu2019t given out yet and same thing happened then we loaded it on an old XP machine and it worked!
    I Tried changing the compatibility to Run on XP SP3 but that didnu2019t help and turning on run as Administrator made no differance
    . Any ideas?
    This is the same for changing the timing for the xml maps thatu2019s where I first noticed the keyboard locking up the software, you can change the time with the 2 arrows via the mouse but if you highlight 5 and then hit the 6 key its the same error as above
    Extra weird just opened it up and went to the help thought Iu2019d type in u201Ckeyboard locks upu201D and guess what as soon as I hit the K, same error
    All our images have Office 2007, Dasault Draft site and a few other bits of software I was running 4.5 Xcelsius and that was OK
    Any ideas would be most helpful.

    Hello David
    Thanks for replying this is really bugging me. Sorry I've been a while replying I've been overseas on a course last week and didn't have work email access.
    Firstly the machines that I have tried it on are HP desktops about 1-2 years old with USB keyboards
    I tried the on screen keyboard and it locked up as soon as I clicked on a character whilst trying to rename a pie chart, this was the same for a remote net support session, and a remote RDP login to my machine by our IT department.
    Our IT guy said the keyboard drivers were current but I may just try and do an upgrade and reply a bit later on that as well.
    Does not happen on any other software on this machine.
    I'm checking for Flash upgrades but we currently have 11.1.102.55 and the newest is 11.1.102.62 so will load that and reply later also.
    Do you think it possible to download a corrupted version of Xcelsius the stupid thing about that idea is that I downloaded SP4 but if I load SP3 hotfix 3.3 that also locks up and I have that on an official DVD from Rockwell Automation as Xcelsius comes with their Factory Talk Vantage Point software as a dashboard builder.
    Thanks again Darren

  • Xcelsius 2008 Engage Won't Install in Windows 7

    The installation of Xcelsius 2008 Engage completes but the program cannot be used at all because the license key is stated to be missing or invalid.
    This is a common problem on other systems but it can be worked around in various ways. However the workarounds fail in Windows 7.
    The required registry entries that need to be edited are not present in Windows 7. Running as administrator does not solve the problem either.
    It seems Xcelsius 2008 can only be used on Windows 7 by running under an XP virtual machine.
    Does anyone have a way to get Xcelsius running natively on Windows 7?
    My Windows 7 system is the 64-bit release candidate. Xcelsius 4.5 runs on this but only when run as administrator and in XP SP3 compatibility mode with desktop composition and visual themes disabled.

    Download the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header and save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.

  • Updating data in Xcelsius 2008 Export from Excel Spreadsheet

    Xcelsius 2008 newbie question....
    I have created a Xcelsius export (.swf) that display my data. However it appears the data is static after exporting.
    I am at a loss as to how you force it to update/refresh using the connections used in the excel.
    Am I missing something? I cannot find a straight answer, do need LiveOffice?
    How do I have an (.swf) export file that refreshes data itself????

    The easiest way to get data to update in your swf is to create a connection in the Data Manager.  After the connection is setup you can add a connection refresh button to allow the swf viewer to trigger that connection.
    To get data to refresh automatically, you can setup the connection to trigger or update on interval.
    For more information you can check out the learning center:

  • Unable to export to PowerPoint from Xcelsius 2008

    Xcelsius 2008 does not export to Powerpoint, it doesn't do anything.  I have clicked on the button to export and tried going to the File - Export to - . . .  but nothing happens.
    Please assist.

    David,
    I've read the Xcelsius2008_release_notes_en.pdf on the installation disc.  (especially when going to Adobe's articles for Flash 8 & 9) A lot of reading, most of which I do not understand but get the jest of it.  I must say that I do not think that this is the 'problem' here. I do not get any 'warnings' of any kind that it cannot do that function.  
    At first when I tried to export from Xcelsius 2008 into Powerpoint it would not do anything as you may recall.  Then when I opened up the Task Manager it started working.  (NOTE:  when I hover my mouse icon over the export buttons in Xcelsius usually this pops up a bubble stating 'what' it would do if I click on the button.  There are only two buttons where something displays when I hover my mouse and those are  "Export to Outlook and Export to Business Objects Platform".  None of the other buttons seem to have this bubble.
    Now I am trying to export to Powerpoint again with another file and it opens Powerpoint but the screen is blank and there is no view slideshow option.  It will however let me export to just a plain 'swf' format.  Which is not acceptable for our purposes.  My boss said I should UNINSTALL Xcelsius 2008 and REinstall it again.
    Any solutions or ideas???????

  • Xcelsius 2008 won't accept keycode

    I just upgrade to Xcelsius SP1 FP1.  Everything seemed to work great and I have the new version.  However, everytime I open Xcelsius it asks for my keycode.  I enter the correct keycode and the program opens and appears to be active.  However, I repeat this the next time I open Xcelsius.
    I have tried the instructions for "set_registry_permissions" with no luck.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
    As a workaround to the issue of Xcelsius
    2008 not installing with Office XP, users can manually add a registry key to
    enable installation.   Please make a backup copy of the registry before making any
    changes.
    Manual Change
    1.       Go to Start > Run.  Start the registry editor by
    entering 'regedit'.
    2.       Select the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and navigate to
    \Software\Microsoft\Office\
    3.       Create an 11.0 folder, if it doesn't exist, by
    selecting Edit > New > Key from the menu.
    4.       Create a subfolder called PowerPoint
    5.       Create a subfolder under PowerPoint called
    InstallRoot
    You should now have the folder structure listed
    below:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\PowerPoint\InstallRoot
    6.       From the InstallRoot folder create a string value
    called "Path" by selecting Edit > New > String Value.
    7.       Select the newly created Path value and select Edit
    > Modify.
    8.       Under the Value Data field enter "C:\Program
    Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\"
    9.       Click OK.
    10.   Exit the registry editor.
    11.   Reboot your machine.
    You should now be able to install
    Xcelsius 2008.
    Please note that although
    all other Office XP applications will work, Xcelsius 2008 export to Word
    produces a blank document.

  • Xcelsius 2008 doesn't preview...

    OK, I'm going crazy.  I've just installed Xcelsius 2008 SP1 on a Vista OS notebook.  It won't preview, either on a new blank file or a sample (nor will it export to any file type....I get the generating Swf notice for abt 5 secs and then it goes away.....nothing else).  I've checked that UAC is off, run as Administrator, checked the player security settings, and re-installed multiple times.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Craig,
    Have you removed the previous installation before installing it?

  • XCelsius 2008 is not backward compatible with ver 4.5

    Post Author: Joseph
    CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
    I tried opening a project that was done with ver 4.5 but it just said that "Crystal Xcelsius is unable to load this file. This file may be corrupt or may have features that cannot be supported by this version of Crystal Xcelsius." So i guess I probably have to recreate the project in the 2008 version to take advantage of the new features available. So I imported the excel datasheet used in the old project to a new project in Xcelsius 2008 and tried recreating the objects from scratch. I had started with an accordion menu and two list boxes and then I decided to export to swf to test. However, the result was disappointing. I could only see the two list boxes but not the accordion menu. There was a message saying "Initializing..." that stayed. Does this mean I have to recreate the excel data from scratch as well?

    X2008 is backward compatible with CX4.5.  But Jim is correct. There is a bug in X2008 which prevents it from opening some 4.5 models by double-clicking on the filename.  They can be opened from the File > Open menu.  This only affects opening the model.Due to the many changes between CX4.5 and X2008, the migration of old CX4.5 models is not clean.  Differences will be seen.  Most are cosmetic affecting only the look of the model.  But some tidy up, color changes and re-alignment work must be done.   There was no way to gain the benefits of X2008 and still keep CX4.5 models unchanged.Andy  

  • Error Opening Adobe PDF created with Xcelsius 2008

    I am using an SAP Product - Xcelsius 2008 to create a dashboard that I exported to PDF.  The document essentially contains a Flash SWF file embedded in the PDF.  I can open it up fine with my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.  Some of my colleagues can open it up using Adobe Reader.  Many recipients who have a older version of Adobe Acrobat get an error stating:  "This file appears to use a new format that this version of Acrobat does not support.  It may not open or display correctly.  Adobe recommends that you upgrade to the latest version o four Acrobat products.  Please visit our product site at http://www.adobe.com/acrobat."  My question is, is there a way to resave the PDF file as an older, more compatible version for people who have Acrobat 8 or earlier versions?
    Troy

    Version 8 should work, but not earlier, since they did not have an internal flash player.

  • Can't get Preview to work in Xcelsius 2008

    My system crashes everytime I try to reun Preview in Xcelsius 2008.  I am running Windows XP and Office 2007.  I have installed all critical updates.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Flashpoint.  When I hit Preview the system starts to generate the SWF and then I get the very polite message - Xcelsius.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.  Meanwhile the SWF is still trying to generate.  When I "click here" to get more information I get:
    AppName:xcelsius.exe

    ModName: msvcr80.dll
    ModVer: 8.0.50727.1433

    If I hit debug my computer goes into never never land and I have to reboot.  If I hit close then Xcelsius closes but then  Excel connection does not.  I either get the message "Problem Assesing Excel:Exiting" or "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources".  If I go to the task manager and exit Excel manually then I can reopen Xcelsius but I still can't run it.

    Okay I've tried a couple of things since I posted this original question.  Starting with once again uninstalling and reinstalling Xcelsius and Flashpoint.  Based on your question I tried all the export options - it crashes everytime.  The problem must be in generating the SWF.  If I start with the blank page and blank excel it'll let me go to preview.  If I open one of your example files it'll work.  If I open any of the files I built in 4.5 it crashes.  If I just import in one of my excel files and leave the canvas blank it crashes.  Kind of suggests it's an excel problem or an interface problem.  I do notice it doesn't matter if I'm importing an 2003 .xls file, a 2007 compatible .xls file, or a 2007 .xlsx I get the same incompatibly box before it'll import.
    The spreadsheet I'm wokring off from works fine in 4.5 Professional

  • XCelsius 2008 - result file performance

    Hi.
    We have problem with performance of swf-file generated by Xcelsius 2008.
    In Xcelsius 4.5 we designed dashboard. Exported swf-file works good and fast. But when we export this dashboard using Xcelsius 2008, the result swf-file works too slow. After changing parameters we waiting about 20-30 sec for charts changig.
    Why so different perfomanse the same dashboard on two version of Xcelsius? Where is the problem?

    I have never worked on the older version of Xcelsius so i would suggest if possible can you export the Excel file from the older version and develop new dashboard in 2008? you wont need to do too much as you will have the exported version of Excel model!
    i am not sure what else can be done
